Drugs are Killers - Watch Your Children

I
hope everyone is enjoying their summer so far. Steve and I attended the
Elks Nat'l Convention in Minneapolis, July 3rd - 8th. It was a great
experience for us both. I attended meetings everyday, and he went sight
- seeing. Meetings were long, but very informative. At every meeting
the subject of Membership always came up. When you think of your membership in Elkdom, what comes to mind? The social events, the charity work and accomplishments the Order is noted for? Are you an Elk Member who pays their dues year after year or are you an Elk who helps and makes the programs of the Order work? Are you a cheerful Member who has new concepts and ideas or do you just pay you dues! What is Elkdom? Elkdom is not just what we give, it's the significance of our giving! It's not just the sociability we enjoy, it's the Brotherhood we believe in. Elks care and Elks share! Fraternally,

Our Alumni Breakfast was once again a great success.
Thank you to all who volunteered your time. We had many compliments on the great food. Most people really enjoyed the chance to see old friends and have the time to chat while having a great breakfast. This just keeps getting "bigger" every year. The Sidney Alumni really looks forward to having this breakfast available to them each year and appreciates the good food and fun time.

| TO MY FELLOW ELK MEMBERS I know that in the past, we have experienced some problems with food mysteriously disappearing.(maybe not so mysteriously). It has happened again! I have discovered a full case of pork chops has vanished. I was planning to use them as another special for a Friday night dinner. I hope the person responsible for this realizes that they are hurting the lodge. If they are experiencing a hardship, the Elks Lodge has the means to help you. Everything will be held in confidence if you come forward and talk to the appropriate people. We are ALL supposed to be working together to keep our lodge a successful lodge. Please, let's focus on supporting our lodge, not our lodge supporting us. Sincerely, Barb Butler |
